He was also the first OSL winner and therefore, by default, the first Royal Roader. | ||

As for Grrrr... He was probably the first real progamer, back in the day he was the best player in the world and kept that status for a decent ammount of time. When korean started playing this game proffessionaly, some got better and he eventually retired. We can assume (I think) that he was a pionneer for Esport and was a the time the best player in the world like I said. | ||

As for skill, I'd probably put a B on iccup above him in skill. But given the time in which he was around, that really doesn't mean anything. Pre-Boxer wasn't all that strong. | ||

He won everything for a period - there wasn't as much to win as there is today but his accomplishments are still really impressive. He was a celebrity, screaming girls and all. He was easily the most successful player to come out of NA/Europe (he won a StarLeague) but Idra is probably the best Western player ever - but that's because everyone today is better than players 10 years ago. or something like that elky is | ||

elky was awesome but i think we're answering different questions if he's asking who is the best player to ever come out of na/euro, it's idra. he'd beat everyone. but is he the most successful player? no, not even close. and if youre saying elky is the most successful, it's all about that starleague man! :D | ||

Grrr is the most accomplished because he won a starleague. The whole "different era" argument doesn't hold for the same reason Super Bowl I counts as much as this year's. Elky was the second most accomplished in Korea in a much more competitive era, placing forth in a starleague (after an epic meltdown in the 3rd/4th place games). Grrrr... is still the best known foreigner in Korean BW after 10 years, and even before he went he dominated tournaments. After 01 it was a rather quick downhill slide into poker. edit: damn my slow tlpd skills, I was answering the guy a few posts above. | ||
